Kurdish security forces nab suspected rebel
Kurdish security forces have arrested a suspected member of the Islamist extremist group Ansar Al-Islam as he tried to flee Kurdish-controlled northern Iraq, a political official said yesterday.
Headed for where?
"Security forces from the PUK (Patriotic Union of Kurdistan) arrested Warzar Ali Wali near Penjwin, while he tried to return to the Sunni regions," said a PUK official on condition of anonymity. Close to the northern Iraq-Iran border, Penjwin is 50km east of Suleimaniyah. The source said the man had not been arrested over Sunday's twin suicide bombings in the Kurdish town of Irbil that targeted the offices of the PUK and its rival Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), killing at least 105 people.
I hope they're working him over questioning him thoroughly...

This is not a good time to be a Sunni Arab in Kurdistan.
